With that, Zhao Rong opened a box…

As Zhao Rong opened the box, the assistant standing behind him thought, It must be Brother Zhao Rong preparing another Divine Artifact to eliminate these mermen...

The three beauties also thought with confidence, Our Brother Zhao Rong is omnipotent! He must have some magical weapon that he's about to bring out.

However, when the assistant and the three beauties saw Zhao Rong open the box and pull out a small fish fry, they were all stunned. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The assistant, his face mournful, said in disbelief, "Brother, the moment you opened the box, I thought you were going to bring out some top-secret weapon... But I didn't expect you to pull out a tiny fish fry! Is this little thing really capable of dealing with thousands of mermen?"

The three beauties standing next to the assistant were equally baffled as to why Zhao Rong would produce a small fish fry.

Lili, scratching her armpit, asked, "Brother Zhao Rong, I simply cannot believe that this small fish fry has enough power to deal with so many mermen."

Yu Lan, picking her nose skeptically, added, "Brother Zhao Rong, this is a matter of life and death. How can you joke at such a critical moment? Isn't this treating our lives like a game?"

Xuelian then took two canisters of pepper spray from her pocket and handed them to Zhao Rong. "Brother, I know you have no way to deal with these thousands of mermen. Here, take these two canisters and protect yourself..."

With that, Xuelian prepared to sacrifice herself to protect everyone. When Zhao Rong saw her about to jump into the sea to fight the thousands of swarming mermen, he immediately grabbed her. Pointing to the small fish fry in the box, he told everyone, "You've all misunderstood this little fish fry. It's actually an electric eel fry..."

When the assistant and the three beauties heard that the small fish in Zhao Rong's box was an electric eel, they looked at each other and shook their heads. "Even if this little fish is an electric eel, it's no help..."

Zhao Rong said mysteriously, "Don't you know that electric eels are the natural predators of piranhas?"

The assistant glanced at Zhao Rong, unconvinced, then stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Even if electric eels are the piranhas' natural enemy, an eel this small can't discharge any electricity..."

Hearing the assistant's words, Zhao Rong immediately took out the enlargement modifying liquid he had previously bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart. He produced a bottle of white liquid, similar to correction fluid, and showed it to the assistant.

"As long as I have this enlargement modifying liquid," he said, "we won't have to worry about this electric eel being too small to discharge electricity."

As he spoke, Zhao Rong opened the bottle of enlargement modifying liquid and dripped a single drop onto the electric eel fry. In an instant, the tiny fry transformed into a massive electric eel, roughly a meter long.

When the assistant saw the little fry morph into a big fish, he excitedly reached in to touch it. He shouldn't have. The moment he made contact, he was nearly electrocuted to death.

The assistant was shocked by the electric eel. His hair stood on end, and his body emitted black smoke. Seeing him getting zapped and stuck to the eel, Zhao Rong immediately kicked him away.

"Assistant, do you have a death wish?" he chided. "Don't you know that a single electric eel can discharge about 360 volts? And 360 volts are enough to kill a cow, let alone a person like you!"

The assistant struggled up from the deck, saying painfully, "Damn it, I didn't expect this electric eel to release such a massive amount of electricity. It almost killed me..."

At that moment, Lili approached, her expression worried. "Brother Zhao Rong, even if this electric eel can discharge 360 volts... how can one eel electrocute thousands of mermen?"

Yu Lan also spoke anxiously from the side, "Although electric eels are the natural predators of piranhas, there are too few eels and too many mermen. We're hopelessly outnumbered..."

Just as the three beauties were worrying, Zhao Rong suddenly took something else from his pocket: the 3D copier he had bought earlier from the Paradise Shopping Cart. He took out the 3D copier, placed it on the boat, and faced the three beauties.

"As long as we have this 3D copier, do we still need to worry about not being able to copy thousands of electric eels?"

As he spoke, Zhao Rong started the 3D copier and began frantically replicating electric eels. The machine worked at an incredible speed, managing to produce about 100 of them in just one minute.

By then, the thousands of mermen had closed in on Zhao Rong and his group. The leader, holding a harpoon, looked at them and laughed.

"Humans, you are doomed today! Surrender and get out of the boat so we can eat you!"

The other mermen were already salivating, thinking about how they would devour the five humans.

When Zhao Rong saw that the thousands of mermen had completely surrounded their speedboat and private yacht, he said with a calm expression, "It seems it's time for a massacre today..."

When the merman leader heard Zhao Rong declare that there would be a massacre, he burst out laughing. He taunted him, saying, "Human, I think death is at your doorstep and you've pissed yourself in fear, talking such nonsense. Now, our thousands of mermen will skewer you with our harpoons, then drag you into the sea to drown you! Finally, we'll chop you into pieces, one for each of us, and devour you entirely! We won't even leave the bones!"

As he spoke, the merman leader raised his harpoon high and roared, "Brothers, charge! Kill these five humans!"

At this critical moment, Zhao Rong had just finished using ten minutes to copy 1,000 one-meter-long electric eels.

As he began tipping the 1,000 electric eels into the water, he said, "One electric eel can discharge 360 volts... Ten electric eels can discharge 3,600 volts... One hundred electric eels can discharge 36,000 volts... And one thousand electric eels can discharge 360,000 volts..."

Before Zhao Rong could even finish speaking, the calm surface of the sea erupted. CRACKLE! FIZZ! The electric eels began discharging their power all at once, plunging the world into a blinding, roaring storm of electricity.

As for the arrogant mermen, they were instantly electrocuted. Their bodies smoked as they shrieked for their parents, soiled themselves in terror, and had their teeth knocked loose.

In less than a minute, those thousands of mermen had all been electrocuted to death.

Instantly, the sea was filled with the floating corpses of the once-lively mermen.
